Яна Вагнер | 16 comments New translation of my book has been added by my foreign publisher, and author's name for this edition is my "role" name in Latin instead of my main profile name in Cyrillic. Usually I can merge editions myself as a Goodreads author, but in this case I need help from superlibrarians.

Please merge this new French edition of my novel: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/2...

with the original one:

Thank you!

David Raz (davidraz) | 12772 comments These titles need to be combined (=grouped together), not merged (=deleted).
This does not require a superlibrarian. Please move your request or repost it to the "Book & Author Page Issues" folder.

From the Librarian Manual:

Authors published in multiple languages
Authors with books published in multiple languages should have their names dealt with similarly to those with pen names. All editions should have the primary author name as the standard or most common Roman (that is, English-language) version of the author's name. Editions published under another spelling of the name or the name in another language should have that name listed as the secondary author. Additional author profiles may be linked directly from the About Me section on the author profile.

Different editions of a book not having the same primary author can cause quite a few distinct problems. Please keep the primary author for all editions of a work the same.

Note: the 'Role' field is not for alternate spellings, but for roles likes translator or narrator.
